Smile spc camber toe bolt question..drop on H&R

I don't know if anyone has this setup, but i'm about to drop my car with
H&R springs.. I was wondering if I could just buy the spc bolt like the one on ebay that runs $40/50 bucks and see if this will fix my toe instead of buying the camber V arms..what is the differences between these 2? .

Also what if I drop my G. and just get an alignment.. would that work? since it only drops the G (1.1front/1"rear) my friend has an is350 and he drop his ride without a camber kit and he has been driving around with it for about 3 months and no tire wear at all compare to when he didnt get an alignment and he had to get new tires in 2 months.

Toe bolts are exactly that, they fix "toe-in" problems. Camber arms fix....

those "toe bolts" can be used on the end of the stock camber arm as well to get additional adjustment. The problem is that the rear toe adjustment is going to be the limiting factor due to increase in toe in as you decrease the negative camber. You will need 4 toe bolts total to do a decent job getting the alignment correct, and are better off just buying the camber arm/toe bolt kit

so your saying that all i need is the toe bolts for the rear?? I was curious what the difference between between toe bolt and and the A arm camber kit..also is it okay to leave the front stock. or is it better to also get a camber kit for the front?

4 total for the rear, but you are much better off just buying the camber arm kit. Are you aware of the amount of work it is to install the bolts? It involves elongating some slots on the subframe using a high speed cutting tool http://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-s...-protocav.html

Just purchase the eibach(SPC) camber kit that comes with the camber arms and toe bolts in one package. That is what the majority of members have

what are your alignment settings? 6 months isn't a very long time to determine if you have even wear or not. How many miles in the 6 month span? I for example only put ~3-5k on my car in the time span
